As a Tutor in Old Testament, Trinity College, Bristol, and PhD Tutor, John Bimson has taken part in excavations in Israel and completed a doctoral research on the historicity and setting of the Exodus and Conquest. His book, Re-Dating the Exodus (1978), proposed that the end of the Middle Bronze Age provides the best matching evidence for the biblical Conquest and that the dates assigned to this period should be substantially revised.
